Yeah, we have a lot of Somali immigrants around here, and the hijabs are often quite vibrant. I’ve also seen them being used as a handy cellphone holder, too. 😃 ---

Absolutely! My hair is short anyways, so it would only take a couple months at most to grow back to where it is now. ---

I’m considering shaving mine now, as soon as the weather warms for good. But if someone wanted to toss $100k my way to cover my tuition & mortgage, I could deal with that. ---

I’ve already shaved mine a few times (as a show of solidarity with my brother who had cancer), so why the hell wouldn’t I do it if someone paid me? I’d probably do it again for as little as $100. ---

I will pay you said 500 dollars if you would let me shave head. ---

Zombie hair tends to fall off on its own, I hear… ---

I would first cut it off and donate it to Locks of Love, because it’s pretty long, then I’d pay a barber to shave it right. Understand, I’d wanna _see_ the million bucks first, to make sure you are good for it, and maybe retain a lawyer. ---

I would do it for a million dollars. My hair grows fast so it wouldn’t be but maybe 6 years before it’s back to being butt length again. I would not donate it to Locks of Love, though. Most of that hair gets thrown away (mine would be long enough, it hasn’t seen any processing since my twenties but it does have streaks of white running through it). I’d rather sell it on ebay and then donate that cash to a wig charity. ---

> [@MichaelEmouse](#): > > This is one of those “Would you do X for Y amount of money?” where there is no cost in answering “no” but a possible status/reputation cost in answering “yes”. Boy, it sure causes a person to lose some status in my eyes. Unless they’re already rich, I would assume anyone who did not take this offer was much less intelligent than I had previously believed. ---

> [@Annie-Xmas](#): > > This came up at work today, and I could not believe some women said NO. Hell, I’d go around bald for the rest of my life for a million dollars. Hell yes, this is a no hesitation question reply. Since I regularly wear a head covering I usually keep my hair very short anyway. ---

Well, I went temporarily bald in order to permanently keep my breasts, so hell yes for one million. It grows back. ---

My hair is my best feature. It’s long and kinky curly and coppery red. I love my hair. I’d shave my head for 500 bucks, no doubt in my mind. I’d keep it shaved for the rest of my life for a million dollars. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ladies-would-you-shave-your-head-for-a-million-dollars/616537.md?page=4)
